Marcin Leopolita (ca.1530 - 1589)

Marcin Leopolita was born in Lwów. He studied at Kraków university (Collegium Maius) and at the age of 20 was already a member of the royal music ensemble at the court of King Zygmunt August. Same as in the case of Wac?aw z Szamotu?, few are the compositions of Leopolita that remained until our times: 5 religious motets and one Mass, Missa paschalis.

• Missa paschalis:
  1. Kyrie
  2. Gloria
  3. Credo
  4. Sanctus
  5. Agnus Dei
